Plano, Texas (March 12, 2008) — Muratec America, Inc. a leading manufacturer of multifunction digital office equipment and business productivity solutions, announced today a partnership with Pyramid Screening Technology, Inc (PyramidST) to assist Muratec Dealers in identifying, recruiting and hiring sales talent.

• Reduce time to hire by 50%
• Source applicants aggressively, screening them based on Dealer criteria.

For many dealers this has become a time-consuming effort which requires an abundance of valuable resources,” said Jim D’Emidio, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Muratec America, Inc. “By partnering with Pyramid Screening Technology, Muratec is providing our dealers with a powerful, turnkey program to identify, qualify and recruit top-tier sales talent quickly and cost-effectively.
